Hi everybody I'm new to the Stones Throw Message Board and pretty new to record collecting and I'm really getting into Brazilian music, like Antonio Carlos Jobim and Os Mutantes, so I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for good Brazilian music that they'd like to share?

man i suggest you take a look at this fabulous blog right hereLoronix blogloads of brazilian records to download, anywhere from 50's to 90's,known artists, lesser knownsif theres some you feel then go hunt it

br nuggets is my favourite Brazilian blog - - -laods of really obscure and amazing albums. looks a bit intimdating to start with but just get stuck in!! lots of beautiful rural psych and such.... you could start with the Oz Brazoes album, that ones pretty amazing!!!

i took a trip down to the city a few weeks ago to stay with my buddy, and record shop i went too had a Brazilian record section which my normal record store doesn't have at all, so i had to cop somethin, and i got a gilberto gil record, shit is reaaal nice, i gotta start finding more spots for Brazilian diggin around me

which gilberto gil album was it? -- i have this one, which is pretty ace:

the one i have is exactly like the one below, except its the first one, and doesn't have that annoying 2, otherwise the cover is pretty similar, it came out in 87, but is i guess somethin of a compilation of some his stuff from 67-73, its all pretty laid back, i guess the title and look of the cover kinda speak for what kinda songs are on it, but its real tight

i kinda had a hard time finding the album (not really, i just didn't wanna run upstairs and look for the title and year) so i was in wikipedia looking for somethin i recognized under his discog, when i saw this nice little bit of knowledge from towards the bottom of the page

Gil has been open about the fact that that he has smoked marijuana for much of his life. He has said he believes "that drugs should be treated like pharmaceuticals, legalized, although under the same regulations and monitoring as medicines".

Arthur Verocai is a good name to look for re: arrangements. And his solo album - a topic which has come up on here a number of times before - is one of my all-time favourite albums. Luv 'n' Haight re-issued it. Its also in the Loronix archives if you search...

Edu Lobo's Missa Breve lp (eclectic record collector bizniss)
Jorge Ben's Forca Bruta, A Tabua de Esmerelda, and s/t lp (listed in order of dopenuss)
Caetano Veloso's first three lps (personally haven't heard anything after Transa but his first three, I assure you, are worthwhile)
Lo Borges' debut s/t lp (perhaps the best lp on this list: Brasilian equivalent to Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information)
Miguel de Deus (long sought after funk bomb deservedly famous to white record dorks for the aptly titled Black Soul Brothers)
Ivan Lins s/t debut lp produced by Arthur Verocia (I second the motion that anything produced by Verocai is probably dope)
Quenteto Ternura (produced by Verocai: nice but more-so on the side of pop than psych or grooves)
Unio Black records old or new (glamorous brasilian funk)

additiional note: I just won Froca Bruta on ebay today motherfuckers. TESTIFY

Yo, I got one for you all. Madlib did a mix @ BBC Giles Peterson Worldwide a few years back. If anyone is familiar with this mix, I need to know what the artist/song is that starts at exactly 13 mins 23 seconds into the mix. That shit is beautiful. I pulled the mix of of my PC crates and threw it on my iPod and forgot how dope that mix is. I'd be willing to share the mix wit anyone if interested. Just PM me.

The same joint can also be heard on the Dudley Perkins "Expressions" LP at the end of Track 4... "Get On Up".

BTW, It's a Brazil joint.

P.S. A complete track list of that BBC mix would be kosher if anyone got it..... doubt it though.

i've got 3 different Madlib - gilles peterson mixes on my i-tunes....
and if its the same one i'm listening to its one and the same track as on the perkins album -- if i rememebr correctly its a elis regina loop.

Oh shit, I just realized your the dude that I exchanged beat cd's with a year or so ago. What up homie?

really? ha- - it a long time since i've done any of that. sold my sampler a while back for record money. how's tricks?

hope you can get into some of these mixes - -there's sp much amazing Brazilian music out there. another brazilian mix i listen to regularly is here<<< (its called "Brasileiros Subterânneos Mix (11/16/06)" )
